You are right, providing an alternate view might not be as useful as say some historical fiction on a unit taken into slavery by the Seljuk Turks (say a Byzantine Cataphract or something - we can show the contrast between White culture - Byzantium, and the Turks and that Islamic culture).

I am sure we could apply this to the British in many ways too, with thier holdings in Africa and all.
